1. K-Pop is a cancer on our society, four years ago everyone loathed it now all of the sudden it’s hip and cool? Fuck off.
2. The faces are absolute garbage, I love expressive 3D animation like the Hotel Transylvania films, but these kinds of faces are pale imitations of anime, and feel more like they were made solely for the purpose of making memes/reaction images rather than making the animation naturally expressive.
3. This shit is garbage slop made for 14 year olds, they love K-Pop, they love anime, this shit film is only made to pander to the kinds of 14 year olds girls who decorate their backpacks with pins and thirst over MHA characters. You’re willingly supporting tweenslop. This shitflic is the Gen Alpha’s equivalent to Totally Spies, a pale imitation of anime watched by little girls.
4. Oh you say the film is "ironic"? That doesn't make it any better, if you make a film that intentionally sucks all you get are retarded zoomers watching it. This shit is just like The Minecraft Movie, made to be bad for LOLs so zoomietards eat this shit up, the fact that this shit film is succeeding will only pave the way for more "ironic" shit films, just like the inevitable wave of Minecraft Movie ripoffs we’ll be seeing.

You see we can’t make movies good these days, we just gotta make "ironic" slop, I swear the internet was a fucking mistake.

Genuinely asking (not OP btw) but how did Kpop get so popular? Jpop was always kind of around, but never hit the heights Kpop did.

>>149220742 (OP)
>y’all
Opinion discarded.

>>149220742 (OP)
It succeeds by doing the bare minimum right.

>>149220758
Cause 14 year old girls consuming slop influences corporations, you think companies want to listen to fat neckbeard J-pop fans? Tweens are who they pander most to by giving them K-Slop all for the precious cha-ching.

Expressive female characters

>>149220758

People got sick of Japanese culture?

I can't believe they just ended it like that... so abruptly and lazily? Surely there was another scene with Celine for exposition over how things were left with an incomplete Honmoon or how they are going to tolerate Rumi being a demon from here on out?

>>149220742 (OP)
Kpop has been popular outside of Korea since 2009 when 2NE1 debuted

>>149220742 (OP)
I haven't seen the film and probably won't, but why and how do people get mad at cartoons for having cartoon faces

>>149220839
Yet people are cheering on the fact that this film is outperforming Pixar's new beanmouth film. I thought Elio was fine, but nowhere near golden age Pixar-level film. I never watched K-Slop Semen Lumpers cause I know it’s gonna be shit, they can’t even do a fucking ending right

>>149220863
>but why and how do people get mad at cartoons for having cartoon faces

It's the amount of "le quirky faces" that gets me, there's an excessive amount of it, idk why they would commit to it

>>149220863
Expressive faces look good when people aren’t trying to make memes by doing them, look at modern SpongeBob for example, that shows animation looks amazing yet retard YT critics claim that the animators are only drawing the faces "to create the next SpongeBob meme". Which is funny cause they defend shit like Gumball where that’s actually the case. Gumballs expressions look unnatural as shit compared to something like Ren & Stimpy where they looked natural.

>>149220826
>People got sick of Japanese culture?
Not even close. Japan is still the beloved jewel of the world. Only Xitter racists and commies hate Japan.

>>149220880
>Comparing a streaming service release to a theatrical one
If Kpop Demon Hunters got a theatrical release, it would've only done slightly better than The Day The World Blew Up

>>149220863
Idk, they just don't feel right. The op seems autistic but his example is good. Hotel Transylvania actually does pretty good exaggerated faces.

>>149220758
Someone in a previous thread it’s because Japan has/had strict rules about selling Jpop albums outside of Japan, plus how most people would just see it as anime music, so it never kicked off like Kpop has.

Lol, lmao even, if Alvin and the Shitmunks released today tons of broccoli haired teenage retards would flock to theaters to watch it "ironically"

>>149220758
They’re horny, but regular male celebrities are too intimidating for your average tween girl to fantasize about. So they go for soft twinks.
After One Direction broke up, there really wasn’t any western boy band to take up that market. That’s also around the time BTS blew up.

>>149220983
Why do all fucking K-Pop singers look the same?

American boy bands at least have variety.

>>149220915
It's not "actually the case" in Gumball either, you're just brainrotted.

>>149220742 (OP)
You're just mad, because you didn't make it. And will never accomplish anything.

>>149221181
Retard, Gumball’s expressions are nothing but slop made to become reaction images.

Compare this to Season 1 Gumballs expressions, like watch any clip from Gumball season 1 and compare the expressions in it to modern Gumballs expressions, it dosen’t compare.

Gumballs expressions would look a lot better if they made the whole body emote during pushed expressions rather than having just the faces be pushed.

>>149221190
Aww what’s the matter? Did I insult your precious Netflix slop? You’re just bad that you don’t have a Korean to fuck while you Netflix and chill to this film, cry harder.

Holy shit /co/ still has some taste. This shit looks like the fucking GrubHub commercials everyone was shitting on, but I guess the cuteish anime girls just makes everyone ignore they give them the most obnoxious punchable faces in animation I've seen in a long time. I don't even care if the show has any cool fights or whatever I couldn't stomach more than a minute of watching these faces

>>149221294
2D-like expressions can work in 3D like I said in the OP, but compared to Hotel Transylvania, there’s something that gives off "uncanny valley" vibes with this films expressions and I can’t explain why.

Like maybe it’s the designs, I probably wouldn’t be so mad at the expressions if they were given designs that fit them.

>>149220742 (OP)
OP made a shitpost thread in an effort to get people talking about it

>heh I'm a girl but I make LE WACKY FACESSSS
How is this still a fucking thing, holy shit I thought this cringe died out ten years ago

>>149221273
I could care less about the fucking cartoon. I just know bellyaching and bitching in anonymous online forums accomplishes nothing. At least take initiative and MAKE something yourself if you think you can do better than a studio and staff that worked on a singular project for a few years. You entitled whiny cunt.

>>149221391
>At least take initiative and MAKE something yourself if you think you can do better than a studio and staff that worked on a singular project for a few years. You entitled whiny cunt.
There is no way people are still trying to use this defense.
Studio's make these movies, shows, etc for AUDIENCES, not other artists, if they want AUDIENCE money, if they want AUDIENCE attention, then it needs to be good for AUDIENCES.

>>149221336
I think what I also hate, and this isn't just a problem of this show, but this brain dead circle jerk rich people celebrity worship. Like the clips I watched was of characters saying "Wow aren't they so brave for wearing a sleeping bag to the gala stuffing their faces with expensive sushi?" Geez how relatable... Uncanny is exactly how Id describe it. Like it feels the animators fully expect us to clap and be like "SLAY QUEEN" to this shite

>>149220758
the reason is that the western music industry throught boy bands and pop groups were dead after one direction so they stopped investing in them, leaving a vacuum in the market J/K-Pop gladly filled in

>>149220742 (OP)
I dunno. I just kind of got tired of hating stuff for arbitrary cultural reasons. I watched it and it was fun. So sue me.

>>149221434
> expensive sushi
Not sushi.
They Korean not Japanese

>>149220742 (OP)
>>149221193

>>149220742 (OP)
Not interested and I'm not gonna watch it.
Yawn.
It looks like something the TikTok generation and millennial women might see.
>>149221525
It's called Kimbap, and it's basically just cooked sushi with seasoned rice, I prefer it and I can get 2 sleeves for 5 bucks, expensive but it's worth the price.

>>149221115
Because all Koreans look the same

>>149221434
kimbap not sushi

>>149221525
shes literally eating some kind of sushi. i don't care what the Korean name is. Especially if your going to be that pedantic while everyone is calling this anime

>>149221418
No it doesn't. Audiences are the least common denominator. Passive consumption generates nothing. No Return on Investment for the Private Equity Investors to cash out liquidity against the company's valuation. A debt spiral of IOUs. And ambitious slave labor eager to have it's ego stroked. Much like yourself.
I can't wait for shit to grind to a halt, and a few daisies to weather the storm and sprout from the ashes. Or at least, to rethink longer term strategies. Like investing in a talent pool, and trying new things, instead of the same "old guard" guarantee shit.

>>149221641
You have the "going to die alone" autism

>>149221664
It's called "hope."
